The recorder features a built-in rechargeable battery, and it is plug and play compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux computers.

3Mic Recording

Several components are needed to record
music as naturally as possible in CD-like audio
quality: high signal-to-noise ratio, highly dynamic
microphones to capture soft tones as well as loud
drums, a high-quality microphone suspension to
avoid pickup of grip noise, a strong left and right
channel separation for human ear live-like effect

MP3 Recording

Capture your recordings in MP3. The popular file
format allows you to play back your files virtually
anywhere and simply share them with others

Internal Battery

The high-capacity Li-polymer battery can be
charged through a standard micro USB jack. This
guarantees extended battery life for
recording

Motion Sensor

The built-in motion sensor detects the recorder
when it is placed on a desk or held and selects
the microphone sensitivity to suit the recording
situation, preventing you from accidentally blocking
the audio you want to record

Color Display

The large color display offers sharp images, allowing you
to see and read everything at first glance.
The user interface supports eight languages
and is optimized for intuitive operation

Plug and Play

Thanks to plug and play operation in Windows, Mac OS
and Linux, you can access your recordings
without installing any additional software. The
recorder is automatically displayed as a removable
drive once connected to your computer via USB. It
can also be used to store, back
up and share files

Pre-Recording Function

The pre-recording function allows you to record
the last five seconds before you press the record
key. The device switches into a standby mode
and records a five-second loop without saving it.
Press the record key to save the five-second loop.
This feature allows you to spontaneously record
important parts of a conversation

Wireless Remote Control

The included wireless remote control enables
convenient placement of the recorder to best
meet the needs of the audio environment while
maintaining ease of operation. Start, pause, and
stop recording, without having to reach
over things

4 GB Internal Memory

Capture and store up to 44 days of continuous
recording thanks to the 4 GB of internal memory

MicroSD Memory Card Slot

Expanded recording and storage capacity
thanks to a MicroSD memory card slot supporting
up to 32 GB of additional memory

Metal Design

Its lightweight design features a metal surface that creates a robust shell around
the device. With the integrated fold-out stand you
can position the recorder towards the
sound source. Two ergonomically placed soft keys
allow for convenient, quick and direct access to the
most important functions

Line-In Jack

Still learning but am impressedI just received this device and am still learning how to use it. It seems pretty simple and rugged. Fits in your pocket. Seems to record well, though only from what I've heard on the internal speaker, the weakest part. Still, I recommend this for someone wanting portability and doesn't want to pay more for a Tascam or Zoom.

Not so great as I thought it would be.Somehow I thought it would pick up near and far (in a small room) audio, as in a circle discussion. Not so great. Microphone pickup is limited -- too soft or too loud (distortion). If I could exchange it, I would. Also, the Ruggard case that B&H recommends/suggests does not fit the recorder. I NEVER have anything bad to say about my dealings with B&H, but this is the exception.
